Information leaks have become a commonplace of late. Pravda.ru published the other day an article entitled “The Kremlin Mulls Lenin Burial.” Today, a leak from the presidential administration occurred confirming what the article was saying. Yes, the Kremlin is really prepared for the burial of Lenin’s mummy, the case looking like decided. The Obshchaya Gazeta newspaper, citing sources in the presidential administration, alleges that a procedure of the burial of the body of the leader of the world proletariat is being currently developed. The procedure may look like as follows. To minimize political risk, Leinin’s body is to be carried out of the mausoleum simultaneously with the ashes of renowned political activists buried in the Kremlin wall (the decision of their burial being taken by the authorities “at numerous requests from the relatives of the deceased.”) The plan is said to have been found by President Putin “interesting.” The Lenin burial is hardly to be expected in the nearest future, though. Those information leaks look rather like preliminary tests of public opinion.
